This remark by the minister reminded me of a joke about a villager whose donkey goes missing.
KARACHI: This is with reference to the recent report which said that Interior Minister Rehman Malik had claimed that the government had identified Benazir Bhutto’s assassins. This remark by the minister reminded me of a joke about a villager whose donkey goes missing. In search for his animal, he enters the forest where a film unit is busy shooting a romantic scene. The hero of the movie holds the heroine in his arms and says: “Darling! Your eyes are like the deep ocean and I can see the whole world in your eyes!” Hearing this dialogue, the villager interrupts and asks the hero: “Do you see my donkey in her eyes?”
Will Rehman Malik please tell the world and the people of Pakistan in particular just who the assassins are whether they include a former army chief who also served as president?
